It was amazingly subtle indeed.
But! Tom went in to the oldbbs and made a very temporary thread. Simply said "April Fools" as the title and said, "Clever of you to look here". That was it. No one would look there. There are no real links to it. Amazing, actually. Of course, after I got it, he deleted the thread. It's no more than a place to archive the old.
Sad I couldn't reply. Took a shot and sent it to Tom. Got my money. went back and it was gone.
Kinda like Noogrounds, in that sense.

Dunno, I thought it was pretty clever.
How the fuck did we suposed to know it was there on the old BBS......

Please tell us what led you to this conclusion.
Honestly, it just made the most sense out of nonsense!
Oh my, it would appear that a number of people are upset that they no longer have the biggest e-dick in the room.
Make me a sandwich, damnit.

Mass hysteria ensues.
That would be Awesome
Looking at the drama of all the other posts, the actual prank itself isn't really a April Fool's Prank, but an April Fool's Treasure hunt.
Even if there actually is an April Fools hidden somewhere, I just find it hilarious thinking about the amount of users who must have fruitlessly searched various obscure pages on the site in the hope of finding something, anything.
I don't know about April Fools but Tom certainly trolled a lot of you. April Fools or not.
Wow, the very old bbs post, to be honest I thought it didn't exist anymore.
It was a very clever place to hide the joke there. To be honest I thought of
searching in the old post, but since I couldn't find a way to get there so I assumed
it didn't exist anymore and started searching everywhere in Newgrounds to find
something out of the ordinary. (too much free time)
Congrats on winning the scavenger hunt, you deserved it.

That's not my alt.
If that was this year's prank I can't help, but feel a little bit robbed.

I doubt you won. Besides, that doesn't seem like the what the prank would be. Tom would tell us that you won, or something.

Pranks are meant to be obvious and guessable?

Yeah, the following of April 1st.

No, but that's not the super hilarious thing that Mockery hinted to.

It is in most places.

Can't argue with that. It's an Easter Egg at most.

And he usually doesn't make a newspost until say 8 or 9 am EST. If that were the case then whoever DID win would have a newspost right now, correct?

In the off chance that you did win, congratulations.
We'll see in the morning.

We will indeed.
And if I do not receive the congratulations by Tom, everyone can send me hate-mail.
I can't be fucked to care.
I just wanna know what the joke is/was.
There better be something to read about by the time I wake up.
Does it always show a tankman face and "Some account type thingy here." beside forum search?
Just noticed it while I'm posting. I never post, so I don't remember this crap.
Could just be a placeholder while the site gets sexified.
Anyway, see you idiots (myself included) tomorrow.
Forgive me if someones said this,but wasn't there a weird fake mmo advertisement early yesterday? Like World of Tanks or something? Or is that real?
Not so much a prank, though I gotta say the responses were hilarious.

real winner wouldn't care enough to defend the fat that he won $250. he would be spending said $250, and laughing at chumps that didn't heff.
just sayin
You know the guys were up at the office March 31, about to go home, when they realized the next day was April 1.
Luis: Holy shit, we didn't think of an April Fool's prank!!1!!1111!!
Tom: Well let's just send them on a wild goose chase then. That should be fun.

Why do I have the idea that it would be Stamper's idea to send everyone on a goose chase?

Yo dawg I couldn't find the prank so that must mean no one else could have either.
With how the revenue shares work, he won't be getting his check for a few days. Yet why would Tom credit it to the revenue shares?
Not like $250 is that big of a deal though.

I wondered that myself. I guess it's sort of a promise. I asked him about it, but I never got a response. Oh well.
